BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – A Combined Joint Task Force-82 unmanned-aerial vehicle made a hard landing in Sarobi District, Kabul Province, March 22.
The UAV landed in a remote, unpopulated area. There are no reports of injuries to civilians or damage to property.
“There is no indication that the UAV was shot down by enemy forces,” said Army Maj. Chris Belcher, Coalition forces spokesman. “Initial reports are that the UAV suffered a mechanical failure. In the event of a mechanical failure, UAVs are pre-programmed to guide themselves to an uninhabited location to minimize the risk to civilians.” 
The cause of the mishap is under investigation
